Dylan Malone, aka Beaky, has a habit for telling porkies â€" every time he opens his mouth, out pops a whopper... But then his long-suffering sister shoves him into the truth-telling machine at Madame Shirley’s Marvellous Emporium of Peculiarities. Now Beaky can't tell a lie â€" not even a teeny-weeny one â€" and a truth-telling Beaky is even worse...
